Rent Rebates

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many tenants in England to date are in receipt of rent rebates under the Housing Finance Act, 1972, exclusive of those tenants who were previously in receipt of rent assistance from the Supplementary Benefits Commission; and what proportion this is of the total number of tenants.

This information is not available. The number of tenants receiving a rebate will be included in the data collected by the Institute of Municipal Treasurers and Accountants at the end of the financial year.
